You mean the opposite ? Sim Lim Tower much older ?

 

I still remember going to Sim Lim Square the first time it opened. It looked very high class with the blue glass, and the spacious shops at level 5/6 selling personal computers. Back then PCs were state-of-the-art, high tech like today's simi foldable smart phones. Most people can only see, cannot buy. Easily $4000-5000 upwards for a PC which didn't have even 1/10 of the storage (360KB floppy disk), memory (640 KB) or processing power (4 / 8Mhz with "turbo" switch) of today's $100 phone.

I saw pineapple PC look same like the apple back in the early 80’s ..... must be a “fake look” and also Wang brand ..... those days SL Tower was more for electronic parts ( still is) and TV and HiFi and lots of LED stuff back then for hobbyists, best part is the optical shop on ground floor has stood still

It is time to revamp but hope the new building will stay with the same theme and not another capitaland malls.

No way.

Renting out units more profit and control.

Actually, computers are very modular and half the fun is assembling it yourself.

 

Items are usually made to be as mass-compatible as possible so I don't think there is much issue there. It is more about whether you are happy to have an item of that range. The second-hand market for parts is also very vibrant, computer parts move very fast on Carousell.

Sim Lim Square, Singapore's well-known tech shopping mall on Rochor Canal Road, was yesterday put up for collective sale via public tender with a reserve price of $1.25 billion.

 

Its 423 owners stand to receive between $488,000 and $67.5 million each if the sale is successful, said marketing agent SLP Scotia.

 

wow!

There are also good "how-to" videos on youtube.

 

This is *not* one of them. :D

wow!

There may be hidden costs above the S$1.25b reserve price, especially if the buyer wants warranty. Also must insist on receipt but even then, CASE may not be able to help if the deal turns out not to be what was bargained for.
